Easyjet - Overnight check in luggage at Gatwick
My family (wife and I and two kids 3/5) are travelling in October on an Easyjet early morning flight (0555) and we're staying at the airport hotel. I've paid for two hold bags.
I can see that we can check in our luggage the night before after 2030, but on the Gatwick website it says all passengers must be present but it refers to easyjet website for more details.

Anyway, no experience, just curious to hear the answer.
